Title: How Bad does Marquette want this Game?
Post by: NCMUFan on February 13, 2016, 06:48:42 AM
We have the talent and coaching.  It is a matter of executing.

If our lads lose, it doesn't necessarily mean the opponent "wanted it more" than our guys did.

One of the oldest, and dopiest, cliches in the book.

Rocket Raccoon:    Question. What if I see something that I wanna take and it belongs to someone else?
Rhomann Dey:   Then you will be arrested.
Rocket Raccoon:    But what if I want it more than the person who has it?
Rhomann Dey:   Still illegal.
Rocket Raccoon:    That doesn't follow. No, I want it more, sir. Do you understand me? What are you laughing at? What? I can't have a discussion with this gentleman?

Well said. This right here

There isn't a player on this team who does not want to win.  There is not a coach on the bench who does not want to win.   You mind as well ask how badly do the fans want this game.

How good or how badly will we play is the only question.   The trend over the last several games looks good.

Go Marquette!

Yes.  And I suspect it is a strong preference.

Didn't Bobby Knight say something like "Its not the will to win that prevails ... both teams want to win...but its the will to prepare" ... not an exact quote...just a memory from a long time ago.  Or maybe it was someone else.

How the hell can that be. It is Creighton. They are who we think they are. And we are playing at home. And we have HE--they have nobody close to him. Something is rotten with Creighton by1.

Hopefully we want to win more than Georgetown currently does.

Well Willie... looks like you will be putting some $$$ on Marquette to win tonight.  I do like our chances but this team is too inconsistent to bet on.  Especially with only +1.

But Bentil only has 7 at the break so clearly the Georgetown coaching staff is better than MU's.

Its not how bad Marquette wants it.  Wojo is a great motivator and he will have this team pumped.  Creighton is the better team with the better coach.  We have more talent and are at home.  Should be a great game.
